848 / 1098 Modifications - what did you do ?

  1. Quite fancy the side panels next but painted in the same white. The 848 showing through in carbon and maybe a little stripe or something. Top and seat fairing mostly white as well. See how it goes...

    Not doing / spending anything else (major) till I get the new rear shock on and suspension sorted.
     
  2. The shock is a big cost ;)
     
  3. Yes but I waited a long time for a bargain to come up and it was worth the wait. :)
     
  4. Sorry, I just noticed you said you were waiting to fit the new shock. Doh!
     
  5. Still not fitted though. Waiting for the shock to get serviced then I'll get it on. Hopefully within the next month.
     
  6. So did you fit the push rod that comes with fit?
     
  7. No, I only had the old type pushrod (without the T piece). They are interchangeable as the slave had the cut out for the T.
     
  8. I might be being thick but what's the T piece you're on about?
     
  9. It's a little (3mm ish) steel bar and about 15mm long ish that fits through the pushrod, through a drilled hole, forming a T. (Ish) :)

    Something similar to this. Mine's just straight. I think the design was changed for the evo.
     
  11. And TBH reading through comments by others who have done this mod. If you don't remove the small bar, it forces the slave to one side of the casing and you get a small gap.

  13. That sure looks Sweet 848, really liking the mods and used the Gilles rearsets ourselves on a 1098s before.:Snaphappy:
     
  14. ^^^^ Cheers for that, I really like the adjustability of the Gilles rearsets they are a good setup. I bought them second hand but they had already had the custom anodising in the red which was perfect for me !
